Sure! Here's a simple recipe for making brown atta (whole wheat) bread:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (atta)
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or olive oil)
- 2 tablespoons honey or sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
ingredients:
1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water and honey (or sugar). Stir until the honey/sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture along with the oil.
3. Mix the ingredients together until a dough starts to form. You can use a wooden spoon or your hands to bring it together.
4. Once the dough comes together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes. The dough should be smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.
6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a loaf.
7. Grease a bread loaf pan and place the shaped dough into the pan. Cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes.
8. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the bread for approximately 30-35 minutes or until it turns golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
9. Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy your homemade brown atta bread!
